Review:Newk's Time is an album by Sonny Rollins. It was his third album for Blue Note Records, recorded in 1957 and released in 1958. The title of the album is a reference to Rollins' nickname "Newk," which is apparently based on his resemblance to Donald Newcombe, a Major League Baseball pitcher who shared the same nickname. "Namely You" was taken from the Broadway show Li'l Abner. The release marked the beginning of the Blue Note 4000 series. "In his early prime and well-respected, tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins cut this fine hard bop date as one of several late-'50s sessions for Blue Note...a must for fans of this most important of classic hard bop soloists." -Stephen Cook, AllMusic.com Newly remastered for vinyl as part of an overall Blue Note 75th anniversary vinyl reissue campaign spearheaded by current Blue Note Records President, Don Was.
